Abdominal pain - 19 weeks

[Thamigumathacharaid]

Hi, first pregnancy to go this far. I've started experiencing pulling sensations when I stand up and my abdomen is quite sore. It does feel dull and muscular rather than something sharp. Is this just my body adjusting? Is it likely to be ligament pain?

Thank you.

Hi Op,
I quite often get a pulling sensation as well when I stand up or move quickly, sometimes it is sharp enough that I bend over and clutch my stomach.
When I'm laying or sitting down I don't ever get it.
I spoke to my midwife today and she said sounds like round ligament pain.

I've suffered with ligament pain throughout pregnancy - everything is probably stretching. Whenever I mentioned it to the midwife she told me not to worry. Try a warm bath as I found that helped

Thank you for responding. I'm still finding this all very new. Xx
